Good news for asians particularly Filipinos because the LS2 Valiant here costs only 10k pesos which is about $200-$220.
I'm going to the shop now to change my RPHA MAX (2014) to RPHA 90 (2020) ... time has passed + 2 crashes ... but RPHA MAX do the job ... I like РОС shape which fit me perfectly ... quality and safety ... Greeting from Russia = we love your channel both in Eng and Russian translation ...
The best biking channel on LTworlds.
Great review but any updates to the lineup that would be worthwhile discussing? I want to get a modular helmet and like the Shark because of the way it opens but keep finding less than stellar reviews. I sort of narrowed down to Shoei and now (because I saw this) the HJC. I welcome your thoughts. BTW - I love your approach and subtle innuendos. Great stuff - keep up the good work!
you guys are missing out on the Simpson helmets
Love my Scorpion ADX-1. Modular ADVENTURE helmet. Cheap. 1800g.
Need one of these for 2020
whats a tooney?
My AVG Sports modular is the best lid I have ever owned. Simply Superb.
What about the evo one 2?
I have an rf1100 in medium and a hjc cl 17 in a small and fits me better. What helmets most closely matches the cl17 with the quality of a rf1100 Im a helmet noob.
The ls2 helmet looks like its a cosplay prop for people that wanna look like Master chief
School holidays started today in Australia. So my 8yr old is home. Weve been watching FNine all morning. What's the only question he had "hey day" "Yeah bud" "Whats a Sex toy?"
Pretty sure ive seen videos where Ryan is wearing a Sena
Is the AGV the only helmet that is ECE certified? The HJC are only DOT which in my books means nothing.
Do a 2020 version pleaseee
Why going back and watching Ryan's 2018 helmet review... are we trying to buy a used 2018 Modular helmet???... noooo... well it is either because watching Ryan is pure Entertainment .. or because I have a Delorean with a Flux compensator in my garage... you decide 😉
do a 2020 versionnnnnn!!!!
Heads-up, the HJC modular Rapha helmet was comfortable in the showroom, and torture to wear when wearing my sunglasses, the same sunglasses that fit perfectly inside my other helmets, including an older Rapha helmet. Make sure you try the helmet with the glasses you regularly use!
There are no modular helmets produced in the USA.
So, cl max 3 or i90?
HJC IS-Maxx 2? Review?
Airoh Rev 19 and latest Shark Evo should have been here, too ... :/
As you know caberg dukes have five stars from sharp. Do you suggest me this helmets
Every review I've ever come across on modular helmets omits to take a look at the BMW system x helmet line. Shame really_they have plenty going for them. I'd even consider my next replacement to be another BMW system x(my third); even tho I've moved away from riding BMW motorcycles.
How is the venting on the HJC helmets? I often find that vents are a decorative piece and never actually function properly. Too many leak.
Since my crash in 2015, with my girlfriend on the back, we never used modular/flip-up helmets anymore. The helmets were closed at the time of crash, but if she had it open it would damage her face. Btw, we were only going at 25mph when a lady decided to jump the STOP sign when we were just in front of her.
Best helmets of 2019!? :O
I tired on all of them except the AGV none fit right and that LS2 is the ugliest helmet I have ever seen ! I bought the Simpson Bandit modular fit perfect lots of vent's feel's light enough but comfort is everything when buying a helmet I don't care how much it cost's.
What the heck is a tunie😂
This is a great review of older helmets. Have you done a review for 2020 or 2019? Thanks
Going from a HJC ISMAX-2 to a Neotec 2, gotta say the neotec just feels all around better. More solid chin bar in both up and locked positions. Also the neotec fits my dome a bunch better. the HJC liner had this really bad sewing spot on the forehead area which left a painful dent across my head after wearing it a while. Modified the stitching for it and that did help.
I've owned a Shuberth since 2014...at the same time I was skeptical and purchased an HJC as a spare and my bro bought a Shoei. We ride year round in heat, cold, wind and rain. In 2020 my Shuberth is still functioning perfectly while all the other helmets have rotted and torn liners, broken vents and strap clips, but the Shuberth is totally intact. Most of all...the aerodynamics of the Shuberth doesn't get caught by crosswinds and gusts like the other helmets, especially the HJC. I suggest real world testing rather than a lab test. The Shuberth not only out performs in durability, but in the wind...and it can handle sweat without rotting. My bro even replaced his shoei with an Arai, but it's liner rotted too. I know where my money will go...and none of the helmets you reviewed will get a cent.
I had my local parts monkeys order in every single high end modular helmet they could get their hands on not long ago. I had a few more models than you have in this video. I tried them all. I picked the AGV Sport modular hands down, I was in love with the helmet. I opted to wear it home. I made it 4 miles and turned around to return it for that damn chin strap. I wanted to love that helmet, but the chin stap made it un-wearable. My next pick...the HJC RPHA90, believe it or not.
I took a testride with the neotec2 and it was a lot louder then my hjc is max 2 that is 2 years and 60000km old. At 30km/h it is quiter though so its quiet when it doesn't matter yet louder when you want quiet! Very disappointing at that pricepoint.
These are, by far, the most entertaining (and informative) reviews on the web! Keep up the great work, Ryan (and Fortnine)
Who really rides with their modular up? It’s only for stop lights when it’s hot as fack and it’s worth it forsure. Not having sweat blind you right before you take off from a stop light is totally worth it.
As far as I could see all helmets have pin lock system except for the LS2. Having a anti-fog visor is a must.... do you or anyone has any feedback on that?
I got the Shoei Neotec 2, and it's great.
Cardo fitts good on LS2
Your head fits Shoei helmets, so it wont be right with an AGV. Mine doesnt fit shoei, does fit Arai and AGV. I cant afford the Arai Id like so luckily theres AGV. Trying to decide whether to replace my K3SV with a Compact ST or bite the bullet on the sport modular carbon...
You have this ego .. kinda reminds me of king Joffrey from GoT
Bought the Neotec II, hurt my forehead, lucky enough to have a friend who wanted it, bought the RAPHA 90 and love it...came out $200 ahead AND a much lighter lid! REALLY appreciate/enjoy the work you guys put into your videos
thanks guys, this is a very helpful review.
In my opinion shoei maybe a little more expensive but the quality of the product is far away superior to all other presented. It all comes down to how much you value your HEAD. For some people I know a plastic bag would be enough. :)
Nolan N100-5 ?
This was he,foul, thank you. Perhaps a 2029 update, including the Valiant II ... ?! Cheers! 😎👍🏼
Ryan you have multiplied
I’m glad that roller skating guy from Zeke and Luther is getting into youtube
any updates for 2019/ 2020 ?
LS2 has a new model Valiant, but that's all I've noticed. Old models are on sale!
No Caberg Duke II? It has one of the highest UK sharp test scores (best impact resistance) of all of the helmets tested. It's modular, very comfy, and only £160. It's a bit loud but that's the only draw back.
Dude you’re so clever with the scheme of your “show” Great work and thanks
Love the LS2 Paps.
I would be really curious to hear your views on the schuberth c4 / c4 pro
Which of these helmets might fit my long oval Arai shaped head?
No Scorpion AT950? What about the safest of the modulars?
Helpful!
Great info on the modular helmets. Now you need to follow up with a safety review. How much safety am I giving up going from my Aria to the HJCs? And BTW, are those prices Loonies or Bucks?
How does the scorpion gt920 stack up?
how would the Evo One 2 compare the LS2 FF399 Valiant?
Wow! Fabulous work and research on these videos. Thanks. I LOVE my HJC
And please don't f&%k the neighbors dog. Modulars are much easier to use and the pop-down sun lens is great.
Entertainment at its best...and you get to learn something about motorcycle products too! Good episode boys!!!
I’ve owned the HJC, the Schuberth E1 (aka, C3 Pro) and now the Neotec 2. Hands down winner is the Neotec 2. Proper sizing. Comfort. Quiet as the E1 without getting a decibel meter, just my opinion. Locks without having to manipulate the cheeks. And it’s the first helmet in my life of 48 years of riding that when I put it on, it doesn’t fold my ears down. I have no problem with the weight and it feels lighter when at speed. It doesn’t rock forward on my head like the stiff neck roll causes on the E1, so my eyes are in the center of the visor opening. And my head fits in it like a hand in a well worn glove. I have a 61.5 cm head and the XL is spot on. I had a 2XL with the E1 but needed a 3XL. HJC??? 4XL to fit my head!!! WTF? Anyway, the com system arrives today. Cardo needs to step it up with their contracts as made-to-fit com units are the thing of the future. And by the way, the neck-roll Cardo unit on the Schuberts sucked like a $600 Dyson vacuum! I actually tossed it in the garbage after a year. So hard it rocked the lid forward so bad the visor opening was on top of my eyebrows and the regular neck roll was not much better. It was quiet, I’ll give it that, but I cannot tell the difference from the Neotec 2. The HJC? Well it’s not too bad for a budget lid. I was able to sell it for just $50 less than I paid for it and dude loved it but he had a quiet bike. My Harley is obnoxiously loud and I love it! Thanks for the video. Good stuff here!
What happened to Nolan and Givi??? Aren't they sold in Canada?
Even with all the information you offer, still is difficult to choose a helmet. I appreciate your work.
I always had a rule to not buy a helmet unless I tried it on. I broke that rule 2 years ago and I’ll never break it again. I need a 3XL for a Schuberth. A 4XL for an HJC and a XL for a Shoei. My head hasn’t changed sizes since the 70s when I was a child. So as you can see, sizing is greatly varied between companies. If you are going to buy online without trying one on somewhere else, make sure they have a good return or size exchange policy. None of that restocking fee crap. Which is crap. I have tried on a lid at a store but bought one from online. Better prices and colors online. But find one and try it on before you buy. Good luck in your search.
Would a Cardo still fit on the Neotec despite the cutouts for the Sena?
Would the ls2 take a vimoto style bluetooth comm on the right hand side, maybe with hook and loop type fixing
If you live in a country where it rains.... Dont get AGV mine leaked like a shiv
i dont understand in one video you say that DOT is a dinosaur and should be avoided, but here you say these are great but not even one of them is SE rated.
Best reviews on the net....bill. Uk
Your a fucken legend!!!
I laughed at the double chin part xD
Random question, but I'm about to buy myself an adventure bike (tiger 800 xrt) and my old model LS2 helmet needs a replacement. I loved your vid, but in your research did you come across any flip up helmets in the adventure line up? Something thats good for 70% road, bit of off-road use aswell but still with the flip top design?
Please review budget helmets from Alibaba or wish ,eBay .there are 50$ and-up
How in the world did you leave out the scorpion exo-at950 neocon? It has to be up at the top
I forgot about needing you schedule a vet appointment for my cat, thankyou fort nine
Ryan to you have any pull on getting my unused helmet exchanged. Used the sizing chart and ordered back in Jan 28th, 2019. Need a large, not a Medium. Order # 180179610.
is the is-max 2 beter option when the price is the same as the cj ?
Can we have a NeXX X.Vilitur Carbon Zero modular helmet review... ?
Can u do Kyt review ?
what.... Shoei Neotec 2 cost only 599-699€ not nearly 1000
He probably should've said that with the Sena SRL ($300) added, then it's $1,000. You're right though, the helmet itself is not a grand.
Great review, and the password is " humor"...
Hjc and their useless sun visor
and that is why I chose HJC 2 years ago, love honest and awesome reviews
$1000 to look like a dork? Priceless.
Can you please tell me your opinion on HJC IS MAX II helmet? Its decently priced.
What up LTworlds great moto helmets at MotorcyclesClub.Net store, I spoke to the rock n rollers there, and they gave me a badass deal I'm also a big fan of Red Beard best custom pan seats you will ever see.. saddle up, Motorcycles Club, two thumbs up... your welcome in advance
Excellent review. Top marks you :)
wait. That's only like 80 mph. You guys can't ever do 80?
I have worn many modular helmets in the past, & the best one I have found is the Lazer Monaco Evo. It has got a host of safety features, extremely light, an in-built communications system, washable inners etc. The best feature is the Photochrome visor. Similar to sunglasses it darkens automatically. Ridden through tunnels & it lightens up in seconds. Have had this for over a year & find it faultless. It costs around £400 in the UK. This is Lazer's video - ltworlds.info/home/vaizdo-ra-as/1IB_taSLhb6Bp8o.html
love the HJC-----pricing

What up LTworlds badass modular helmets at motorcyclesclub.net, I talked with the rock n rollers over there, plus they hooked a blazn good deal I'm also a big fan of Red Beard Original Leather Craft best motorcycle seats you will have the pleasure of puttin you man pads on.. great guys, MotorcyclesClub, two thumbs up... you can thank me later
Love your sarcasm it’s the only reason i started shopping at fortnine
LivelyMoto ! Same here!
I have a neotec2 and I love it. Best helmet ever it feels so safe. Got it for $550 from England brand new. Just have to wait two weeks to get.
No problem sister I got my alpinestars gloves and my alpine stars jacket from them too. All products were discounted big time. They are legit bro I only order from them because of prices.
@Jose Rodriguez thanks so much dude!
UK@FreestyleXtreme.com is their email. They will email you back. It will take a few weeks to get the helmet but, bro they sell them for a good price. DHL will mail it to your door step. I’m wearing it in my channel on my videos.
@Jose Rodriguez for whatever reason I'm just not finding them on there. I can't find a single thing from shoei on there.
a c FreestyleXtreme.com and type Shoei Nanotechnology they are there and in different colors bro I just saw them for 549.00 in Sterling Pounds.
Avoid Schuberth unless you like riding with a waterfall in your eyes. I’ve had two, both disappointing.
for the past few years, i've used a Zox Condor helmet. I found that for just over $100 its been a great bucket. Its got washable and replaceable inserts, hyperallergenic, deep ear sockets for comms speakers, good venting, nose guard and chin curtain, and fits nicely on my XL noggin...also, i found that the bronze inner visor has been brilliant on days that are very glarey and when used at night, really cuts down that blinding headlight glare but also seems to make the lines on the road really stand out, almost as if they were underlit
Why HJC hasn’t ECE ?
What's a 'kaam'?
